If he wins, he is going to inherit the worst US economy and highest unemployment since the great depression. On top of that, COVID now becomes his and the Democrats problem. They will no longer be able to hide behind the curtain and point the finger at Trump once he is gone. People are still going to be pissed off at the government over all of this and demanding change.
One of my greatest fear is that Biden will just be a weak pushover much like Obama and will let the GOP get whatever they want out of him. His entire political career, he has barely been a Democrat and has outright bragged how much he loves Republicans so much. He has made it clear he's going to pick some for his cabinet and that he'll appoint them in positions. Obama did something similar when he picked Republicans for positions, like Ajit Pai for the FCC (whom waited right until Obama left office and then gutted net neutrality). Biden has pretty much made it clear, he wants to work with Republicans, whom I can easily see turning around and wanting to investigate and impeach him over Hunter and they'll bully him around and make demands, eventually getting it, just like they did with Obama.
Biden really is going to be a puppet for what will truly be the Harris administration though, and that's where my absolute biggest fears come in. Harris will lay the groundwork for our future authoritarian fascist dictatorship. She will push, alongside with Biden to write some extremely authoritarian law that will further the PATRIOT Act and do something crazy to squash the protest movement. It will probably be declaring the filming of police officers to be illegal or something like writing ACAB as a hate speech and pushing to give life sentences to protesters.
Biden and Harris are already set to push mass austerity once they are in office. His cabinet isn't hiding it at all. They are going to probably defund social security and medicaid in exchange for some weak COVID relief bill that is probably just tax credits and don't help anyone whatsoever. As a result, the wealth inequality will continue and this will slowly light the fuses for our next far right fascist movement that is going to spring up like the Tea Party did back in 2009. The right wing backlash to Biden is going to be unlike anything we've seen before and will be far more fascistic than anything Trump could've ever done. 2022 is going to be a blow out for Dems and will set the stage for the GOP riding this far right movement to come back into power under a real deal fascist, whom unlike Trump is actually smart and competent.
I don't see any scenario that is good for Biden. I think he will absolutely put the pedal to the metal and accelerate us directly to fascism much faster than anyone is expecting.
That's what I was referencing, thank you. They called it on criminal mischief charges.
Biden and Harris are both "tough on crime" Dems straight out of the 90s, so I can see them being A-OK with threats of life sentence charges on protesters.
With the looming mass evictions and further immiseration of a significant part of U.S. citizenry, the police will become even more hated. At this point, they are fighting a loosing war against public sentiment, and no amount of state violence can help them
I posted a thread some time back asking users about their theories of a Biden presidency and I detailed out most of this same stuff.
My apologies to you, you're not going crazy. I tend to fixate my posts on domestic issues in the US and our government, which leads me to sometimes talking in circles.

They are already pushing to give life sentences to protesters under charges of criminal mischief and property destruction. It's already happening.
Several protestors in Salt Lake City were threatened with life sentences for throwing red paint on the DA building.
